About SessionWatcher

SessionWatcher is a native app that lives in the Mac menu bar or Windows taskbar and shows token usage, costs and rate limits for AI coding tools. It auto-detects the tools you use, including Claude, Codex, Cursor, Copilot and Gemini CLI, and lists many others such as OpenCode, DeepSeek, OpenRouter and Mistral, so you can see when a limit will reset instead of being locked out mid-session.

Features include 5-hour rate limit tracking, usage rate charts, cost tracking in USD, smart notifications, macOS widgets, a native Swift app on Mac and support for multiple Claude licenses on one device, with an iPhone and Apple Watch beta mentioned. It is sold with a one-time payment from $6.99 and a 14-day money-back guarantee.
